My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 359 The City of Glory

Alice has a total of more than 50 vassals, including 5 viscount vassals, 23 Baron vassals, and lord vassals Thirty.

The total number of troops of all the vassals is as high as more than 4,000, plus the more than 2,000 brought by Alice herself, this time the Jones family has invested a total of more than 6,000 troops, although these six Many serfs among the thousands of people are not actually soldiers, but this is also the gathering of more than half of the entire Jones’ military force.

Even Alice’s team of more than 2,000 people are the elites of the Jones family, including 500 Rose Knights, 1,200 elite infantrymen, plus more than 300 ordinary guards, and finally four more. More than a hundred ordinary serfs in charge of logistics.

Rose Knight Needless to say, this is the heritage of the Jones family. Not to mention how much money it takes to cultivate the title Knight, it will cost a lot to gather 500 war horses and train so many good cavalry. resource.

Although the 1,200 elite infantrymen are no better than the Rose Knight regiment, their strength should not be underestimated. The 1,200 infantrymen have only two arms, one of which is the longbowman, with a total of 200 people. It takes at least two to three years for a longbowman to become a master. The training of these 200 longbowmen alone requires a lot of longbow arrows. No small nobleman can afford such a large number of longbowmen.

The second is the long spear soldiers, a total of 1000 people, every 100 people is a square, the long spear hands are the real main force of the infantry under the hands of each great noble, equipped with chain armor, leather armor and helmets , plus a long spear more than four meters long.

On the battlefield, in addition to cavalry, when a really great decisive battle breaks out, the victory or defeat of the infantry phalanx can determine the victory or defeat of the war.

And the last remaining 300 ordinary guards, although they are not elite, they are not enough, but there is no problem with them. These guards are no worse than the guards under Gervais.

Even some minor nobles are reluctant to spend money to buy equipment, and the guards under their guards are not comparable to the 300 guards used by the Jones family as auxiliary guards. These guards are all long sword hands, attacking the city and the castle. time is where they come into play.

 …

Two hours after the expedition team marched, Gervais realized that he was still too naive.

Originally, he thought he could enjoy his cheap wife’s face on the road to relieve his boredom, but he didn’t expect. After the army stopped for lunch at noon, he never saw his cheap wife again. , because Alice has switched from riding a horse to riding a carriage.

It’s the same carriage, but Alice’s carriage is many times more luxurious than Bart’s. It’s not a problem to squeeze four or five people in just the space of the carriage.

Seeing the luxurious carriage beside him, Gervais had a bitter face and thought about it for a long time. After all, he rode a unicorn and came to Alice’s carriage, facing Alice in the carriage in the surprised eyes of everyone. Said: “Alice, your carriage is so spacious, do you want me to squeeze it?”

Gervais is not afraid of being tired, but he moved towards the rear of the team and looked at the young nobles sitting On the carriage, only an old noble like Gandalf rides a war horse meticulously.

Although the carriages of those young nobles are of the kind that carry goods, and there is no roof or anything, the carriage with no cargo at all is enough for a person to lie comfortably on it, while on the carriage. Throw in some soft pads to reduce the vibrations of the carriage, and it’s simply a treat.

Gervais now not only blames himself for being inexperienced, but also blames himself for being too upright.

Gervais’ questioning fell for a long time, but he heard no response from the carriage.

In the end, Gervais could only shut his mouth and see if he could get a carriage when he set up camp at night.

……

Ten days later, Gervais and his team of more than 6,000 people finally saw a giant city appearing on the horizon in the distance. A happy smile appeared on the soldier’s face.

In addition to fighting on the battlefield, it will be frightening.

Especially the infantry, they walked all the way with blood blisters under their feet everywhere, and every night Gervais could hear the girls and ordinary guards under his command screaming in pain in the tent. hum chirp.

Gervais himself was fine. After riding a unicorn for a section of the road on the first day, he spent the next few days laying on the carriage to drive.

This carriage was not given by others, but bought by him with 1 gold coin.

The horse is the most common old horse, the carriage is brand new, but it is also the kind of cargo.

Such a carriage normally only costs 30 Silver Coins to win, but Gervais now spends a whole gold coin.

Why is it so expensive?

The speaking of which made Gervais gnashing teeth, because he met a profiteer with a price on the ground.

It turns out that every year, some inexperienced young people like Gervais join the army of the Southern Expedition.

If you can’t bear the pain on the way, or see other people’s appearance, and want to find a carriage to ride, these profiteers take the opportunity to sell the carriage they bring.

On the first night of departure, Gervais found Bart and the others, and wanted to ask if there was any excess carriage. He wanted to buy or borrow it, and soon Bart and the others took advantage The petty nobles who peddled the carriage were introduced to Gervais.

This minor noble is just a lord, but his father is a Baron, who is also a vassal of Alice.

The minimum number of people in a lord’s call-up order is 30 people, but this lord brought 60 people, all of whom are all serfs. In addition to these 60 serfs, there are also 30 carriages.

This operation surprised Gervais on the spot, what a talent.

Originally, when Gervais proposed to buy the carriage, the lord offered 1gold coin 30Silver Coin, and finally heard about the title of the husband of Mr. Gervais count, which erased the fraction.

1gold coin is not too expensive. Many young nobles are lining up to buy it. When Gervais went to buy it, there were only 10 of the 30 carriages left by the lord, and Gervais could only Bought it with gritted teeth.

 …

As Gervais and the others continued to move forward, when they crossed a low hillside, the complete appearance of the giant city in front was finally clearly reflected in them. eyes.

The giant city is square and square, although the scale is not as big as Winterfell, but the city wall of the giant city is more than Winterfell.

At this moment, countless tents have been stationed densely outside the giant city. These tents stretch for more than ten miles. As the saying goes, there are 10,000 people, boundless. At this moment, Gervais really saw the war in the cold weapon era. Differently beautiful.

At least 40,000 or 50,000 troops are already stationed in the camp below.

At this moment, Alice has also stepped out of the carriage, mounted her warhorse, and moved towards the giant city in front of her.

“This is the City of Glory, Jean dukedom’s most important line of defense, as long as you leave the City of Glory, it will be the Alban dukedom, which will impact the Great Plains!”

Alice this The words were like exclamations, and they were also addressed to Gervais.

Gervais raised his eyes moved towards the distance and looked again, the city of glory is surrounded by towering mountain ranges on both sides, stretching to the end of the horizon, and the city of glory is right in the middle of the only gap in the mountain range, This giant city is like a stubborn stone, firmly locking the only way for Jean dukedom and Alban dukedom.

In fact, without Alice’s export, Gervais also has detailed memories of this glorious city.

This city of glory is of great significance to Jean dukedom, so it is also emphasized in the aristocratic school.

The name of the City of Glory was actually changed more than 30 years ago, because every year Jean dukedom will go on a southern expedition, and in the annual southern expedition, there will be many outstanding people who are canonized here. A noble lord, so over time, this place has become a glorious place not just in name only, but also in reality.

As long as you step here and step out of the mountain range, you are likely to really get unprecedented glory.

When Gervais and the others stopped on the gentle slope, the rangers on the outskirts of the camp below had also discovered their entire group, and dozens of horses immediately turned around and rushed towards the hillside.

“Lord Alice Jones, welcome to drink your arrival! I am Chakra, the logistics supervisor of King Your Majesty’s southern expedition. Your camp has been divided, please come with me!”

When these cavalrymen approached, a fatty with a fat body and no armor nodded to Alice.

But the fatty didn’t turn over and dismount, speaking and nodded greetings were done sitting on the horse.

Gervais looked towards Chakra, who claimed to be the logistics director. There were three or four badges on the luxurious silk clothes. Although Gervais didn’t know what those badges represented, it was obvious that this fatty was under the king’s command. He is also a pivotal figure, so that he will have enough confidence not to dismount and salute in front of Alice.

“many thanks Director Chakra, then please lead the way!”

Alice’s tone did not waver, her pretty face was still arrogant and cold, but she nods slightly. Clark salutes the response.

Chakra didn’t care about Alice’s attitude, but his gaze stayed on Gervais for a moment, more precisely on the unicorn under Gervais.

Chakra’s eyes stayed for a while, then gave a salute to Alice again, then turned to lead the way for their entire group in front, moved towards the huge camp a few miles down the hillside and slowly walked away.

Nearly 3,000 words, long and hard enough! ! ! MVM! ! !

I just don’t know if I can repay the next chapter tonight for the rewards I owe to “Kitty Mi”…
